6 Best Tips for Taking Care of Your Mental Health in Chronic Conditions

Sleep Well

Sleep is important for both physical and mental health, especially when you are living with chronic diseases. Studies have found that those who sleep fewer than 6 hours per night are more prone to mental problems. Ideally, aim for at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep a day. The quality of sleep matters as well. Disruptions during sleep would increase the risk of many problems. To sleep well, you should:

– Avoid alcohol and caffeine, especially at night

– Sleep in a quiet, dark, and cool place

– Try to sleep and get up at the same time every day

– Turn off all electronic devices [4]
